"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

TranscriptionTumblr post by badsciencejokes:

Nintendo was founded in 1889, making playing cards.

Coca-Cola was founded in 1892.

Levi's blue jeans were invented in 1853.

Dracula was published in 1897, set in that time.

We could have had Dracula wearing jeans, drinking a Coke and playing Nintendo and it would be accurate.

Reply from agentlemandragonsdelights:

This reminds me of something i saw several years ago.

Around this same time, wild west gun slingers, japanese samurai, and pirates all existed. So you could have also had a group of adventurers consisting of these three to fight Dracula. Wild just to consider.

Inspired by the recent post by @LadyButterfly@reddthat.com about how Dracula in fact does feature a wild west gun slinger who kills Dracula by stabbing him with a bowie knife.

Small nitpick. Nintendo made playing cards when they were first founded. So you'd be playing with Nintendo, not playing Nintendo.

The original post does mention that it's playing cards.

The nitpick was about the wording "with Nintendo" vs just "Nintendo."

They also managed few ~brothels~ guest houses of questionable repute.

"They also managed few brothels guest houses of questionable repute." But "brothels" is subscript.

Gotta use double tildes on Lemmy to make that show up as struck-out.

They also managed few ~~brothels~~ guest houses of questionable repute.

becomes

They also managed few ~~brothels~~ guest houses of questionable repute.

While

They also managed few ~brothels~ guest houses of questionable repute.

shows up as the screenshot above.

That's not our case in mbin ;) but thanks for the heads up.
